Repeat Prescriptions

New on line service!

The practice has migrated to a new computer system which allows patients to order their repeats on line, saving the need to do this by bringing your repeat slip to the dispensary. If you wish to register for this service, please come down to any of the 3 surgery sites and we will issue you will a password. If you had a previous password, this will not work on our new system.

Please allow 2 clear working days for your medication to be dispensed with the exception when there is a Bank Holiday when we ask for 3 clear working days pre and post the Holiday.

Thank you

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS charges

From 1 April 2018, the charges are:

Prescription (per item): £8.80

12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00

3-month PPC: £29.10

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC. The charge for a single prescription item is £8.20, whereas a three month PPC will cost you £28.25 and a 12 month PPC £104.00.
